Finding certified organic ingredients can cause sourcing challenges for manufacturers. To help food and beverage companies to be able to label their products as certified organic and simultaneously maintain quality standards, there is a range of organic gums and gum blends now offered. Among the latest is Certified Organic Inulin. The same manufacturer offers several other organic hydrocolloids, including a pre-tested blend for organic ice cream.

High performance for bakery
To deliver the attractive appearance, delicious taste, high volume and good crumb structure that modern consumers expect, manufacturers of baked goods need highly effective emulsifiers. The result of intensive research, Lametop 500 has significantly improved the vendor's emulsifier series, producing better effects for the same application costs -- or the same results for lower costs compared with competing products.

Emulsifers in solution
Emulsifiers play an important role in the vendor's solutions sets and custom blends of ingredients to solve customer needs for formula and process development. Recent developments look at reducing trans fats in foods and structuring liquid fats for use in semi-solid products. In the production of sour cream, dips and spreads, for example, these blends can remove or reduce the need for culturing compared to the traditional process.
